I'd just like to say this PPV's been wonderful.
AJ WINS!!!!
What a main event, that's what a title match should feel like.
Ending early? Really?
AJ Styles is really in position to put on the best stretch of championship defenses ever in WWE. Hope WWE doesn't mess it up, he's so locked in right now.
Here are the Backlash Facts:
- Apollo Crews VS Baron Corbin was both wrestlers’ Backlash debut & 1st Kickoff Match

- Dean Ambrose VS AJ Styles was the 17th WWE Championship Match at Backlash (counting all forms of the WWE World Championship (WWF Championship, WWF Undisputed Championship, WWE Championship, WWE World Heavyweight Championship & though it’s not a WWE Title, the ECW Championship), & both Ambrose & Styles’ Backlash debut, was the 8th World Title Change at a Backlash PPV, & 1st since 2009
I think it's to early to put the strap on AJ. Ambrose has been waiting for so long to be champion, he should have been champion a bit longer. But as for the match, it was good
